Must Own Intellivision Games?

So I got an Intellivision for Christmas (the original model), and I wondered what games are a must own for it? I have the Flashback, so I was going to focus on titles that weren't on the Flashback first. Burgertime is probably the game I wanted to get the most, and I also have a copy of Tron Deadly Discs (with no overlays sadly), but other than that I'm not sure what to pick up first? I was also thinking about The Dreadnaught Factor, Microsurgeon, and Lock N Chase? Any other suggestions are appreciated!

If you can find it don't over look Beauty and the Beast. That was one of my favorites on the system. All the others I can think of, other than Snafu, have already been mentioned. Congrats on getting a new system! I have some INTV games I have no use for...PM me if interested.

Thanks for all the recommendations guys! I went to one of my favorite local retro shops and dropped about 30 bucks today on a bunch of loose carts:

Demon Attack

Atlantis

Beauty and the Beast

Locomotion

AD&D (Cloudy Mountain)

AD&D Treasure of Tarmin

Vectron

Locomotion

Night Stalker

Burgertime

Ladybug

Lock N Chase

Mission X

Bump N Jump

Treasure of Tarmin and Burgertime were both about 6 bucks, and Beauty and the Beast was 5 bucks, Demon Attack was 2, Atlantis was 3, and the rest were all a buck a piece! I'm going to post pics of my collection as it stands now in another thread.

You may want to just print out a copy of the overlay for Tarmin. I've played that one for hours and hours and I still have to look at my overlay sometimes. You got a nice lot for your buck man, congrats and enjoy!

Ladybug for a buck was a steal, that one is 15ish usually.

Kind of. You shoot robots and bats, with the added strategy of having to reload your gun with bullets after 3 shots. It's a great game on INTV, especially when you use both controllers at the same time (one to move, one to shoot).

One game that I think is pretty addicting is Locomotion. Certainly one I'd recommend in a snap. D2K was already mentioned and that is certainly another fantastic game. If you can get your hands on SuperChef Burgertime, I highly recommend it. Here is a video of the game so you can see it in action:
